3) Plan for Jimmy Uso following SummerSlam

A few weeks back on SmackDown, Jimmy Uso was attacked. Jey Uso had no choice but to witness Jimmy's unfortunate encounter with the relentless duo of Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns. Jimmy was subjected to a brutal assault and was even sent crashing through a table. The severity of the situation led to Jimmy requiring medical attention, as he was carefully loaded into an ambulance and transported away from the scene due to the injuries he sustained.

However, he returned to WWE at SummerSlam. But instead of helping his twin brother Jey Uso defeat Roman Reigns during their Tribal Combat match, Jimmy cost Jey and turned on him. The plan is for Jimmy Uso to address his actions on this week's SmackDown. It was advertised on RAW that the former tag team champion will be on the blue brand.

2) Did Brock Lesnar hint at retirement at SummerSlam?

At The Biggest Party of the Summer, The Beast Incarnate and The American Nightmare faced off for the third time in a highly anticipated match. Ultimately, it was the latter who emerged victorious in this encounter. Following the intense bout, the former Universal Champion displayed a surprising show of sportsmanship by shaking Cody's hand, giving Rhodes a hug, and even raising his opponent's hand in a gesture of respect.

In an unexpected revelation during the subsequent post-event press conference, Triple H stated that this display of camaraderie had not been pre-planned. Jim Cornette believed that Lesnar may have hinted at retirement:

"Because Brock took the opportunity to do something like that here means they're probably not coming back against each other anytime soon. And it may indicate that Brock just decided - I don't know where he's at on his current deal or whether he's going to get renewed or whether he's up for renewal or what he wants to do in the future but he either may say I don't want to do this anymore entirely or he may want to be a babyface again," said Cornette

It has been rumored that The Beast Incarnate will not be returning anytime soon following SummerSlam. He is allegedly advertised for Fastlane which will take in October this year.
